How Scanning the Undercarriage of Vehicles is Essential to Security

June 15, 2018

Scanning under a vehicle is a necessity these days if security is a serious concern.

Security professionals agree that scanning the undercarriage of vehicles is a necessity if you want to take security seriously. We’ve come a long way from the days where mirrors were used by security personnel to see beneath cars—nowadays, experts are able to take advantage of hardware like Gatekeeper’s Intelligent Vehicle Undercarriage Scanner System. This next generation of vehicle undercarriage scanning has become increasingly important to security professionals for a number of reasons.

Day and Night Functionality

Inspecting beneath a vehicle to identify any threats or dangerous modifications has traditionally been made difficult by environmental factors, but with modern security systems, it’s easier than ever. These systems provide sufficient ability to scan beneath vehicles in a number of conditions, including day or night functionality. The benefit of a system like the Intelligent Vehicle Undercarriage Scanner System is that it can function in a number of environments under varying conditions.

Flexibility

Gatekeeper offers both mobile and permanent installations. For anyone who may need a flexible option, such as law enforcement who need to set up checkpoints on the fly, the mobile option makes sense as a means of security. On the other hand, for anyone who has no plans of moving a checkpoint, such as permanent border stops, installing a permanent under vehicle scanner system may be what is needed for security to be effective.

Safe and Quick

Scanning beneath vehicles is quicker and more efficient than ever. These systems are capable of scanning beneath a vehicle and comparing the image to a reference in order to check for any possible dangers. This removes much of the risk that is normally associated with this kind of work. Additionally, it clears up much of the traffic congestion associated with scanning beneath vehicles, as it is able to perform quickly and reliably.
